Abstract
Background: Autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBDs) are a type of dermatosis with antibodies produced against various structural proteins of the epidermis or dermoepidermal junction. AIBDs are broadly divided into intraepidermal and subepidermal types. Apart from the common AIBDs, there is an array of uncommon AIBDs.
Objective: To discuss uncommon variants of AIBDs so that the readers are updated about them.
Methods: In this review, we have discussed uncommon and unusual variants like pemphigus herpetiformis, IgA pemphigus, paraneoplastic pemphigus, induced pemphigus, IgG/IgA pemphigus, oral lichenoid pigmentation in pemphigus, pemphigus acanthoma, and follicular pemphigus. Rarer variants of the pemphigoid group of disorders include anti-laminin 332 pemphigoid, mixed linear IgA/IgG pemphigoid, anti-p200 pemphigoid, Brunsting-Perry pemphigoid, IgM pemphigoid, granular C3 pemphigoid, anti-p105 pemphigoid, ORF-induced anti-laminin 332 pemphigoid, and acral purpura in dermatitis herpetiformis.
Conclusion: This review will help in early diagnosis and treatment of uncommon and unusual variants of AIBDs.
